The use of oil between the samples and the sample block is not necessary to
achieve an improved heat exchange. However, if you still want to use oil, you
should use mineral oil. Do not use silicone oil.
The thermal block, the samples and the heated lid reach high temperatures.
There is a risk of burns during contact.
Ensure that the lid is securely closed before starting the program! Do not touch
the heated lid!
The rapid heating of the thermal block can cause liquids to boil explosively. Al-
ways wear safety goggles during operation!
Do not touch hot sample vessels or plates and do not open them or boiling liq-
uid may escape!
Only use plates and vessels that are suitable for high temperatures (up to
100°C), fit well into the thermal block (no shaking) and whose lids seal tightly!
